Hotel de France

Guests who stayed here loved

“We had such a great time at this hotel. I'd read in some reviews that the decor was dated and I suppose in places it was but it was so clean, the staff were really friendly and helpful - particularly the bar staff, and I think looking at the other hotels along the strip - it stood out as charming and well kept. The pool was the main highlight for us, there was always a great atmosphere and whilst it wasn't heated, it was not unpleasant - a great way to cool off on a hot day - my kids were in there for hours. We appreciated that we had a sea view and we were amazed at how well the patio doors blocked out any noise from others on their balconies. The bedroom was spacious enough for 4 of us, the main bed was very large and the bunk beds were great for our 4 and 6 year old. Breakfast had a good selection and we got a table right away - we liked the fresh omelette and pancake station. The location of the hotel was excellent - less than 10 mins to the metromare, fiabilandia (though we didn't visit) and there were buses going past the front of the hotel regularly. There were some lovely restaurants across the road and a gelateria directly opposite. Access to the beach was quick and easy - we paid 20 euros for 2 sunbeds and a parasol for the day - 1 row from the front and right next to the beach bar. If we came back to Rimini we'd definitely choose to stay here again. None of these things spoiled our stay at all but just might have elevated it further: An extra pillow on the bed (though to be fair I didn't ask for one) and an additional bed guard for the wall-side of the bed - we had to roll up the bedspread from the double to shove down the gap as I was concerned one of the kids might fall down that side and get wedged. I recommend you bring your own hairdryer as the one provided was the weirdest contraption I've ever seen - It was fine for my short/straight hair but not great at drying quickly. You need to be really careful in the bathroom - ours was a wet room and the shower curtain was inadequate at keeping the water in, and whilst the powerful shower was welcome, it made it impossible to keep the water contained and so the whole bathroom flooded - they had given us plenty of towels thankfully so we had to make a walkway out of them until the floor dried to avoid slipping. On some evenings other guests were not very considerate and were very loud in the corridors late at night. Thankfully our kids slept through it but maybe some signs up asking guests to be quiet would help to remind people to be considerate of others.”
